A new spatane diterpenoid from the cultured soft coral Sinularia leptoclados

Mar Drugs. 2013 Jan 10;11(1):114-23. doi: 10.3390/md11010114.

Abstract

A new spatane diterpenoid, leptoclalin A (1), along with two previously reported known norcembranoid diterpenes (2 and 3), were isolated from a cultured soft coral Sinularia leptoclados. The structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses and by comparison with the spectral data of related known compounds. Metabolite 1 is rarely found in spatane skeletons reported from soft corals. In addition, compound 1 exhibited weak cytotoxicity towards human tumor cell lines T-47 D and K-562.
